YOUR SCHOOL'S LEARNING JOURNEY:
Read the explanation of the Problem of Practice and discuss it with your group so that you have a common understanding of GEPS’s thinking.   Now reflect on your learning journeys in enacting the concepts underpinning the PoP.

What are the  big ideas that you think will have the most importance as we undertake our classroom observations?

Who helped you most in developing the understandings of those ideas?

Were there educational theorists', researchers', or writers’ work that most advanced your learning?

​What first-hand experiences had most impact?

​Collaboratively develop 3 or 4 slides using that highlight the key moments in your school's learning journey.
